Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam Practice Question
An attorney publishes a web notice that says: “I am the best attorney in town, and I will guarantee a favorable outcome for anyone who hires me!” Are these statements allowed?
Yes. Established disclaimers on the attorney’s website prevent any misleading impression
Yes. The message simply expresses the attorney’s pride in achievements and poses no harm to potential clients
No. Promising a specific outcome can mislead people about what the attorney can achieve
No, because there is no verifiable way to prove the attorney is the best in town
Guaranteeing a specific result in a public notice is misleading. Claims of guaranteed success may cause individuals to believe results are assured, which risks being deceptive. Stating that one is the best could be treated as subjective, but ensuring an outcome crosses a line by creating unwarranted expectations. The other options inaccurately suggest that personal opinions or disclaimers would justify such a guarantee.
